School / Support
Learning should not stop for a period.
Practical support, a small kit and someone you trust can make a difficult day easier.
01
Make a small period kit
A pad or your preferred product, spare underwear and a pouch are useful basics. Ask an adult to explain product use. Wash hands before and after changing products; follow the product instructions.
02
Ask for what you need
“Can I use the bathroom and get a period product? I would like to speak privately.” Ask which trusted adult can help and where supplies are kept.
03
For parents and teachers
Offer products, bathroom access and a quiet conversation. Listen without asking for intimate details. Do not request access to a pupil’s personal health records.
